    Tomo pomo (“see you tomorrow, postmodernist”).

    All I need to be featured on a crime show is otherwise intelligent, educated people who type “u” in place of “you”. The only thing that can make someone seem dumber is a backwards baseball cap.

    Tomo means friend in Japanese (友), so my bilingual ass would probably go the other direction and end up interpreting her messages to be more cheery than intended.

    “Tomo the street sweeper is coming through so don’t forget to park in your driveways.”

    “Tomo we are holding our annual HOA elections; make sure to attend!”

    “Trash pickup was days ago, so don’t let me catch your cans out tomo.”

    You should purposely misspell it from time to time to … homo

    And when people point it out, just apologize and say it was a typo … be very apologetic and sincere and even offer to send cupcakes to them for the inconvenience (include some mild laxative in the cupcake … and alternate to cannabis the next time it happens)

      I was so shocked when I learned that in the same country that gives guns to children because muH FrEedOmS, you cannot let your lawn grow out on your own property because some Karen down the road doesn’t like the way it looks.

      Getting decent housing that isn’t in an HOA in some regions is a privilege a lot of people don’t have. At least they were still able to attain some homeownership.

        I live in the “hood” and I have no HOA.

        Fuck them “whites only” redlining neighborhoods where you don’t even have freedom.

        Btw it isn’t even that bad as depicted on TV, they over-exaggerate everything. I still alive after a decade, haven’t personally known anyone that died to homicide. The upside is that there aint any nazis around here at least, so for me as a non-white its actually safer than those racist-ass neighborhoods. As long as I don’t go near drugs or gangs and I’m fine. And also remember to stay away from pigs.

        If someone can kick you out of your house because you painted your fence the wrong color then you don’t own your house.

      Like everything in life, not all HOAs are the same. There’s definitely a bias surrounding them, because people who live in good ones don’t complain every time they’re mentioned.

    Used to have an admin that would fully spell out every word except ‘pls’.

    “pls don’t microwave fish in the breakroom”, etc.

    You spell out every other word… is ‘please’ really that hard to write?

    I know I’m getting older but this would bother me as well. It seems like a terrible way to shorten the word in my head. I think my brain just doesn’t like vowels and wants words to be shortened to end with consonants. Things like HOA make sense because they are all individual words.

    I thought it was 2moz, at least that’s what I’ve seen here in Australia
